Welcome to all our investors, 00:00:03.917 -- 00:00:07.302 colleagues, and then our chairman, Teance. 00:00:07.302 -- 00:00:09.785 And we have Vili and Bridget from our board here today. 00:00:09.785 -- 00:00:14.973 And then as I walked in, Anthony Clark said to me, he thinks he must be in the wrong 00:00:14.973 -- 00:00:18.418 place because he saw the old bugger here. So welcome, Chris. 00:00:18.418 -- 00:00:24.327 Hello to you. Chris has joined us today. Anthony called you the old bugger, not me. 00:00:24.327 -- 00:00:27.972 But let's dive into the presentation. We'll try and stick to the time. 00:00:27.972 -- 00:00:33.276 As you know, We are always quite diligent on that and we'll 00:00:33.276 -- 00:00:35.880 get into the business overview. 00:00:35.880 -- 00:00:40.048 Fortunately, all green arrows, and Chris used to have a comment for this, which I'll 00:00:40.048 -- 00:00:44.776 steer away from, but absolutely a good scoreboard. 00:00:44.776 -- 00:00:48.963 Revenue up 10%.
